BILLABLE

| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

C88.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code C880 is used to code Waldenström's macroglobulinemia

Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM, also known as lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma) is cancer affecting B cells, a type of white blood cell. The main attributing antibody is immunoglobulin M (IgM). WM is an "indolent lymphoma," (i.e., one that tends to grow and spread slowly). It is a type of lymphoproliferative disease, which shares clinical characteristics with the indolent non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

Macroglobulinemia (approximate match)

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code C88.0 and a single ICD9 code, 273.3 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
